Polka Dots

6 Dec

Polka dots seem to be huge this season! I love it and it can work with any outfit. The dots take some time, but a little extra effort will bring some wow! factor to it all. I used a very pale pink – Velvet Rose by Oil of Olay. It took several layers to get it just right. Coat 1 – 5 from left to right, pinky to thumb.

As you can see, it starts off very translucent and gradually becomes more opaque with each coat. I think I settled on four layers to make the pink a bit more visible. I applied very thin layers so that it dries quickly before I applied another coat.

Now on to the dots! You can get creative here by using any color(s) you want. I decided to keep it monochromatic and neutral by using grey tones. With a dotting tool, I dipped it in Midnight Metal by Cover Girl’s Nail Slick. Just a couple dots…

I continued to use a smaller dotting tool to dot with Hot Metallic Shower by New York Summer. Once dried, I just brushed over the silver dots with Silver Glitter by Sation. Finish off with top coat and voila!

Try it out and let me know how it works for you! I’d love to see other color combos out there :) Have fun and stay warm this season.
